Media devices are connected to a network. Restrictive rights restrict how the media device can process restricted media content on the network. Information indicative of the restrictive rights associated with the network is stored on the network. A request is received to deliver restricted media content to a requested device, which lacks the right to process it. The stored information is used to determine which media device has the restrictive right to process the requested content, and an instruction is sent to that device. The processed content is then delivered from the determined device to the requesting device. A centralized embodiment of the network has a server connected to the media devices. Another embodiment of the network enables the media devices to obtain restricted media content suitable for the restrictive rights of the network from content providers.
